Global Warming Education: School Lesson Plans, Climate Change - 0 views

  •  
    This site is notable because it is one of the few that offers (excellent) discipline specific resources as well as grade filtered. Many of the lessons are directly related to polar science. Although this site is not itself an advocacy site, it links to many of the 'more respectable' ones.

Climate Program Office (CPO) Home Page - 0 views

  •  
    Not a curriculum, or a resource page in the same sense as other sites in the curriculum category; the NOAA Climate Program Office provides a document about climate literacy. It can be accessed here. This document, developed with Standards and Benchmarks in mind, will enable teachers to meet their curriculum needs while incorporating climate and polar studies in their teaching plans.
